APPARATUS non WASHING Application filed January 6, 1927, Serial No. 159,250, and. in

This invention has reference to apparatus for washing glasses and like vessels, and to apparatus supported je'cted to the action of the kind in which the vessel is upon a rotatable holder and subof jets of water or washing medium upon its interior and exterior.

In known apparatus considerable splashing of the washing medium is caused bythe external jets impinging tangentially against the outer surface of assist in effecting, t and the object ofth an apparatus in which the vessel, to effect, or he rotation of the latter, is invention is to provide splashing will be reduced to a minimum.

In apparatus according to this invention the glass or other vessel is rotated entirely by the action of the internal jets which impinge tangentially against the inside surface of the vessel, and the outside surface of the vessel is rinsed by the surface radially fine sprays which strike or substantially radially.

One arrangement of glass washing apparatus in accordanc illustrated in, and will now reference to, the ac which Fig.

1 is a vertical elevation the invention is be described with companying drawings in partly in e with section of such arrangement, Fig. 2 is an elevation at right angles to Fig. 1, and Flg. 3 is a plan of the bowl.

Referring to the bowl mounted by means and connection 6 upon stand pipe 7 provided drawings, 4 indicates the of a union and nut 5 the upper end of a at its lower end with a water supply connection 8 and a springclosed tap or cook the operation of a connection 6 pipe 11 of lesser dia adapted to be opened by o-ot-lever 10. lVithin the aforesaid is arranged a supply meter which extends int-o the bowl 4 and is provided with a number of tangentially-arranged turbine ets 19. dlsposed at various entangles to the pipe 11 is rotatably which conveniently spring wire a frame or the like the supply pipe 11 ends bent to engage in the rim of a disc ably mounted on levels and opening at differhorizontal. On the supply mounted the glass holder consists of a number of arms 13 connected at the topto 14 rotatably mounted on and having their lower as shown at 15, in holes or the like 16 also rotatthe pipe 11. The holder may be provided with rubber studs or the like 17 upon which the glass 18 rests (as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1).

From the connection 6 aforesaid branch pipes 19 lead up the outside ofthe bowl 4 to sprayers 20 dire cted into the interior of GLASSES AND LIKE VESSELS.

the bowl 4 and situated at or near the top thereof for the emission, radially or substantially radially to the glass 18, of fine sprays of water for rinsing same. The sprayers 20 are preferably adjustable about horizontal axes. The waste water passes away from the bowl 4 through outlet holes 4" into the connection 6 and a waste pipe 21 leading therefrom. r

The supply of water to the turbine jets 12 and the sprayers 20 is regulated by means of spring-closed tap or cock 9, whilst a handoperated tap or cook (not shown) may be provided for regulating the pressure or quantity of water delivered on the opening of the said foot-operated tap or cook 9. 7

hat I clainras my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. A washer for tumblers or the like, in-' cluding a bowl, a water supply pipe projecting therethrough and terminating into a plurality of angularly disposed spray nozzles adapted to direct a spray tangentially upon the inner surface of a tumbler placed thereover, a rotary tumbler support mounted to rotate about said supply pipe and support a tumbler to envelope said nozzles, a second supply pipe surrounding said support and adapted to direct a plurality of radial streams of water upon the exterior of a tumbler placed upon said support, and means for connecting said supply lines to a source of water.

2. A washer for tumblers or the like, including abowl, a water supply pipe projecting th-erethrough and terminating into a plurality of angularly disposed spray nozzles adapted to direct a spray tangentially upon the inner surface of a tumbler placed thereover, a rotary tumbler support mounted to rotate about said supply pipe and support a tumbler to envelope said nozzles, a second,
